In HOMInG’s seminar no 17_18, last April, Olivia Sheringham and Janetka Platun gave an original account of ther participatory research on ways of home-making and feeling at home in Eastern London. Their presentation discusses the relationships between urban dwelling, migration and mobility with a particular focus on creative practice and collaboration. The speakers have drawn on examples from Olivia Sheringham’s current research project, Home-City- Street (with Alison Blunt and Casper Laing Ebbensgaard) which has involved public engagement events, artist-led workshops, and the creation of visual and testimonial ‘home-city biographies’ with local residents of a street in East London. They have also discussed on-going collaboration on Janetka Platun’s project, Globe. This filmic and sculptural artwork has facilitated street-based conversations on what home means in contexts shaped by connections with people and places from other parts of the globe.
